WALKERTONVisitation Friday for firefighter and family A visitation for three Walkerton residents killed in a pickup truck crash will be from 3 to 8 p.m. Friday at Urey Middle School. Keith Clark, 39, his fiancee, Alice J. Hudson, 40, and their daughter, Kelsey Clark, 10, all of Walkerton, died after the pickup truck in which they were riding hit a tree about 10 a.m. Sunday in Westville. The couple's other daughter, Kirstin Clark, also of Walkerton, survived the crash and was flown by helicopter to Memorial Hospital in South Bend, where a spokeswoman said she was released from the hospital earlier this week. Police said Keith Clark was driving a 1998 F150 west on U.S. 6, near Coulter Road, when the truck crossed the centerline and drove off the south side of the road, striking the tree. Police said the truck's rear tires had low tread and likely lost traction on wet pavement. High winds Sunday morning may also have contributed to the crash. Funeral services for the family will be at 11 a.m. Saturday, also at Urey Middle School.
